Your Child in the Hospital
Parking
Emergency rooms usually have special parking spots in front of the entrance, but finding regular parking near hospitals is sometimes difficult. The hospital might have both long-term and short-term parking arrangements. The nurses and other parents will know whether parking passes are available or where the cheapest parking is located.
I had no idea that the hospital gave out free parking passes to their frequent customers. Now I tell every new parent to check as soon as possible to see if they can get a parking pass. It will save them lots of money that they would have spent on meters and parking tickets, and time that they would have spent running out to move the car out of the emergency parking spot.
